Farm TO TableOUR LOCATION, JUST 90 MINUTES NORTH OF NEW YORK CITY , has nearly

50 different farms, u-picks, and farmers’ markets.

Our farms are not only acres of breathtaking fields

and orchards, but are deliciously savvy to make Ulster

County a magical land of culinary delights. A plethora

of fresh fruits and vegetables, accompanied by meats,

cheeses, and artisanal creations fill our farmers’

markets for all to enjoy. With a sudden rise of interest

in wineries, breweries, and distilleries, Ulster County

has many options to choose from. The Shawangunk

Wine Trail is just one of many here available to visit,

tour, and even participate in delicious wine tastings.

Farm to table is a way of life in Ulster County.

Art Culture HistoryULSTER COUNTY IS ALIVE WITH CREATIVITY, WITH AN ABUNDANCE

of visual and performing arts. Aspiring actors to seasoned

veterans of the stage (or thespians), budding artists to

those of world renown. Art galleries, fairs, festivals and

tours showcase artists, artisans and crafts people. Com-

munity theater, summer stock, film, musical and theatri-

cal performances dot the landscape of Ulster County - in
